What would an elemental soup cook up to?
Roald Hoffmann
If the temperature is very high, the entropy term in ΔG will steer things, so that reactions in which the entropy is increased are favored. All solids will be spontaneously converted into gases. Yes, even solid NaCl (boiling point [b.p.] = 1,413 degrees Celsius) and NaOH (b.p. 1,388 degrees Celsius). All molecular gases will decompose into atoms, a reaction with a nice positive ΔS, as translational degrees of freedom are created. And some ions will be created (for example, H ↔ H+ + e-), depending on the temperature. From a chemist's point of view, the surface or interior of a star (now that is high T!) is boring—there are no molecules there. But from a nuclear physicist's point of view, these are the greatest fun.
The low temperature limit, T approaching absolute zero, poses different problems. For then the history of the model world really, really matters. Let me explain. At very low temperatures, the atoms are not moving quickly enough to overcome in their collisions any barriers (remember the ubiquitous activation energies introduced above?). So if you take that hydrogen balloon with its mixture of H2 and O2 down to close to absolute zero, you will have to wait a very, very long time, a time approaching infinity, to get any water. Here H2 and O2 are metastable relative to H2O, perfectly happy on their own. You can see what I mean by history—at low T what you get (in a human, finite observation time) depends on whether the reactant molecules were first heated to overcome activation barriers. Or if they were not, just allowed to cool.
The high vacuum interstellar medium poses another challenge. If a rare collision between two molecules or atoms that are prone to react were to take place—say H2 + O (atomic)—the reaction to H2O being highly exothermic (by 491 kJ/mol, gas phase) the product molecule is born with a large energy. In the absence of collisions, that energy will have nowhere to go, and the reaction, exothermic, will not happen.
The surfaces of dust grains and cooled planetary objects present a special environment: high vacuum on one side, but an inert, or potentially catalytic, solid surface on the other. Low temperatures (unless there is volcanic activity)—but a long, long time. And sporadic influx of energy in the form of light. This is a wonderfully interesting set of conditions, important for the evolution of complex chemistry or life. But it isn't quite my model world.

Amazing experience, the food is really great, I loved everything that I tried, the waiter was really kind and funny and he helped us to choose our food, I really recommend it!!
Rob Greig
Posted: Fri Oct 1 2010
Yalla Yalla continues to produce its hit formula of superior Lebanese cooking in a casual setting. Its self-styled 'Beirut street food' resonates with the upbeat informality of these dinky Soho premises; we've found the quality to match that of much pricier restaurants. Diners cram on to faux-rustic tables at lunchtime, while others nip in for takeaway wraps – filled with everything from falafel to spicy sujuk sausage – from the pre-prepared selection behind the counter. We were presented with arabic bread, olives and torshi (pickles) as we perused the menu: not the big salad bowls of the posh places, but a charming touch nonetheless. From the concise list of meze dishes we tried a chunky, smoky baba ganoush and a flavour-packed fattoush salad. A profusion of fresh salad vegetables (lettuce, radish, cucumber, spring onion, cucumber and tomatoes) had been labour-intensively chopped small, before adding crispy toasted pitta, a dusting of warm sumac and a red wine vinaigrette – brilliant. Halloumi meshoué (grilled) was fine too, served with olives and mint. There's also a selection of main-course grills. In all, you get an edited version of a full Lebanese menu here, served in a convivial atmosphere, with the bonus of cocktails in the evening.

Amazing experience, the food is really great, I loved everything that I tried, the waiter was really kind and funny and he helped us to choose our food, I really recommend it!!
The real treat here is the lunchtime deal. A wrap and a side for just £6.50? Bargain!
Small and tiny cafe/restaurant, enjoyed my dinner there with couple of friends, mezze was fresh and tasty, fattush salad was the best, hommus was creamy with a hint of garlic. they recommend the Lebanese white as i remember was St Thomas which was nice and fruity. Service was helpful also.
After reading amazing reviews about Yalla Yalla, my husband and I decided to have a go and we both can't believe how dissapointing it was! The homemade lemonade was very nice though, but the actual food is either overrated or we were unlucky enough to get the wrong cook! The Chicken was overcooked and the vermicelli rice luke warm... Our waitress was a bit abrupt and seemed as if she couldn't wait to go home. Maybe it was because we went on a Sunday that they had ran out of steam or something, but we won't be rushing back to find out :0(
After waiting for 15min at around 10pm, we were kicked out from the restaurant. The reason was because we didn't order the main meals from the menu. Stay away if you don't want to be forced what to eat!!!
Extremely rude staff and very slow service . After waiting for 20 minutes for take away food the waiter who mixed up my order handed me my money back, told me not to waste his time and walked away. AVOID THIS PLACE!
The food is ok. However there has been a problem each and every time i have eaten here. today was the last time. the service is slow the staff sulky and can be cramped. perhaps all the stars are from people who havent eaten much lebanese food. i have never been servced a shawarma heated through on a panini heater before. Street food should be quick hot and fresh. Disappointing
Amazing, tasty food. Can't get enough...
Try their daily special, the charcoal grilled quail with molasses and the pickled baby aubergines were yummy.Service is attentive and the atmosphere is great.
Amazing authentic food, attentive sercice and good atmosphere.
Absolutely dreadful. Warm beer, greasy/poor tasting food, dreadful staff. Avoid.
I've been here a couple of times now for lunch with a friend. The food has been good on both occasions and the service friendly. It is a little bit cramped and on both times we were there it was very busy. Saying that, we were never rushed.
Price is cheap so maybe it reflects in the food quality. Kibbeh Nayeh was mediocre, with more bulgur than meat. Hummus as good as the ones you can find in the supermarket. Mouhalabieh was not creamy as it should be.

Special Education Listserv
Subject: FER, ASBR, and Federal Award Schedule
Source: Special Education Finance
Intended Audience: Superintendents, Special Education Directors, Finance Administrators
Date: September 2, 2011
As you know, the Division of Financial and Administrative Services has extended the FY11 FER due date to September 30 for federal grants to align with the ARRA funds expiration date. Because of this, there seems to be confusion on which year to report expenditures within the FER, ASBR, and Federal Award Schedule. To clarify the issue, see the guidance below.
ARRA Expenditures after July 1, 2011, should be reported on the FY11 (2010-11) FER. However, they will be reported on the FY12 (2011-2012) ASBR and FY12 (2011-2012) Federal Award Schedule.
The Division is aware and accepts that the FER will not match the ASBR or the Federal Award Schedule.
Please contact the Special Education Finance section if you have any further questions at (573) 751-0622 or email@example.com.

My 14 month old id starting to take off his diaper and he quite often plays in the bathroom. Ive caught him a few times trying to lift up the toilet... so cute:) But does that mean he's ready to be potty trained? Ive asked him a few times does he have to potty so that he can just get used the name, but im unsure of what to expect...
There are many ways to tell if your child is ready to be potty trained. But your child probably isn't quite ready yet. Your child should be able to:
Although these are not "written in stone", if your child exhibits most of these signs, it will make potty training a lot easier. That being said....you should be excited that he shows so much interest in the bathroom. It also means that he is paying attention and that he knows where he is supposed to go to the bathroom. You can encourage this by talking about the potty and occasionally letting him sit on it if he is interested. There are also fun movies and books you can get that discusses potty training. Who knows, you may be able to potty train him in a few more months...Good luck

Kill the death penalty?by Opinion Staff
Capital punishment in Florida is a relic. It's being used less and less. Almost all of the nearly 400 people on Death Row will die of old age or disease. Capital punishment also is much expensive than simply sentencing someone to life in prison without parole. Florida leads the nation in exonerations from Death Row.
Yet the death penalty sticks around, like a favorite sweater we can't throw away. People like it for visceral reasons, even if more juries are giving that life-without-parole sentence. Politicians worry that, even tough the death penalty isn't a deterrent, they will look "soft on crime" if they propose getting rid of it.
But if Florida is to become a new, better state in recovering from the real estate bust, Florida will have to use money wisely. The death penalty is bad use of money. Emotion and politics usually trump hard data, but Florida must overcome both. We think that the state should abolish capital punishment. What do you think? Take our poll.

These past days have been pretty busy for me, because I have acquired Rainmeter for my desktop. As a result, I have been learning to customize my Rainmeter skins and creating dock icons of my own to enhance my experience.
Here's what my desktop looks like:
Neat huh? Most of the dock icons are created by manipulating existing images in gimp. However, there is one icon in particular that stuck to mind in my journey to customize my work environment. It's the Insamnity! 2 icon.
Most of this has been created from scratch, because the app icon is way too small. I had to recreate it on my own. The logo was easy though, I just grabbed it from the Mod website.
You all, if you own Serious Sam 2, should do yourselves a favour and give that mod a try. It's what makes the game worth having. Feel free to use the icon in your own docks too.
By the way, the desktop wallpaper is by Coyox. The guy does good stuff, check him out.

James Madison Reaches CAA Field Hockey Semifinals on Overtime Goal
Junior defender Amy Goldstein registered the game-winning goal for JMU (11-7, 4-3 CAA) while redshirt-freshman midfielder Loes Stijntjes scored the tying-goal with 27 seconds to play in regulation. For Hofstra (7-12, 1-6 CAA), sophomore forward Jonel Boileu led the way with one goal on seven shots.
Hofstra registered the first goal of the game in the 51st minute when Boileau tipped in a long shot attempt from Codi Nyland, who picked up the assist. JMU quickly attempted to pick up the equalizer 30 seconds later from a shot from Taylor West, but Hofstra's junior goalkeeper Kaitlyn De Turo made the diving save to preserve the lead.
The Dukes were able to break into the scoring column in the 62nd minute with a goal from redshirt-junior forward Rachel Wein. Wein picked up a pass from midfield, cut through the Pride defense, and fired a shot into the right side of the cage to tie the score at 1-1.
However, Hofstra was able to rebound quickly and took the lead right back one minute later when Micaela Gallagher tapped in the rebound of a Boileau shot to give the Pride a 2-1 advantage with seven minutes remaining.
JMU forced the game into overtime with Stijntjes' goal off a penalty corner with 27 seconds to play in regulation. Stijntjes received the pass from Dana Allaband and shot the ball through the Pride defense into the lower right corner of the goal.
In overtime, the Dukes registered the game-winning goal in the 72nd minute. Goldstein collected the ball just inside midfield and cut into the Hofstra defense and shot the ball past De Turo into the top corner of the goal.

Segment 2 | From the Archives: "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl" (LibriVox reading of original 1861 text).
Here is a LibriiVox reading of an edited selection from Harriet Jacobs' autobiography, originally written under the pseudonym Linda Brent and partially serialized in the New York Tribune. It was one of a half-dozen or so slave narratives written by former female slaves. Jacobs recounts her experiences as a slave in North Carolina and especially documents the sexual exploitation that plagued many enslaved black women. Though the Tribune found Jacobs' account of sexual violence and rape too explicit to run the full text, her narrative was indeed fully published in 1861 in book form. See https://librivox.org/incidents-in-the-life-of-a-slave-girl-by-harriet-jacobs/ for the full audio. The etxt version is available at: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/11030.

Segment 2 | From the Archives: "H. G. Wells' A Modern Utopia" 1905 (reading/selection).
Utopian and Science Fiction writers have often grappled with notions of fair wages and income equality. Here we bring you a selection from a LibriVox reading of Science Fiction writer H. G. Wells' ideas about reconstitutioning the wage system: "H. G. Wells' proposal for social reform was the formation of a world state, a concept that would increasingly preoccupy him throughout the remainder of his life. One of his most ambitious early attempts at portraying a world state was A Modern Utopia (1905). A Modern Utopia was intended as a hybrid between fiction and 'philosophical discussion'. Like most utopists, he has indicated a series of modifications which in his opinion would increase the aggregate of human happiness. Basically, Wells' idea of a perfect world would be if everyone were able to live a happy life. This book is written with an intimate knowledge of former ideal commonwealths and is a conscious attempt to describe a utopia that is not utopian." (Summary from Wikipedia).

Segment 2 | From the Archives: "William Jennings Bryan 1896 Campiagn Song: No Crown of Thorns, No Cross of Gold" (Song by H. D. Pittman, 1896; sung by Peter Janovsky, 1980 Folkways recording).
William Jennings Bryan ran for President of the U.S. three times under the banner of the Democratic party -- in 1896, 1900, and 1908 (and lost all three times). During the first of his campaigns he delivered one of the more powerful speeches in U.S political history -- his famous "Cross of Gold" speech -- delivered at the National Democratic Convention in Chicagonin 1896. "No crown of thorns, no cross of Gold" soon became one of the central rallying cries of the Bryan campaign during that election. It also became the basis of this H. D. Pittman campaiign song, an excerpt of which we offer you here (a modern rendition, at least). Though Bryan lost his bids for President, he nonetheless had a distinguised political and legal career, as a Representative from Nebraska, as Secretary of State under Woodrow Wilson from 1913-15, and as a lawyer (most famous for his role in the 1925 Scopes "monkey Trial"). This excerpt of "No Crown of Thorms, No Cross of Gold" comes from the Smithsonian Folkways collection of campaign songs, Winners & Losers: Campaign Songs from the Critical Elections in American History, Volume 2-1896-1996, sung by Peter Janovsky. For the excellent liner notes that came with the album, see: http://media.smithsonianfolkways.org/liner_notes/folkways/FW37261.pdf. The full version of "No Cross of Gold, No Crown of Thorns" and other classic campaing songs are available from Smithsonian Folkways. See: http://www.folkways.si.edu/TrackDetails.aspx?itemid=34531.

Segment 2 | From the Archives: "Benjamin Franklin and the Abolition of Slavery" (1790).
Here's a reading from LibriVox of an important letter Bejamin Franklin wrote. Back in February 12, 1790, the U.S. House of Representatives received a petition from Benjamin Franklin and the Pennsylvania Abolition Society requesting that the federal government move forward toward the gradual abolition of slavery and an early termination of the slave trade (before the year specificed by the Constitution -- 1807 -- as the earliest for introducing legislation to prohibit the latter). The petition led to an intense debate in the House, covered by various newspapers. During this debae, a congressman from Georgia, James Jackson, offered one of the most impassioned defenses of slavery in the South; he argued that slavery was not only sanctioned by the Bible, but that whites and blacks could never live together in equality and that the labor of slaves was asbsolutely necessary to sustain the Southern plantation economy. Benjamin Franklin addressed Jackson's arguments in parody. He submitted a letter, under the pseudonym Historicus, to the Federal Gazette (it appeared in the March 23, 1790 edition). In it he suggested an ironic parallel between Jackson's defense of slavery and the justifications of an Algerian pirate named Sidi Mehmet Ibrahim for the enslavement of Christians.

Segment 2 | From the Archives: "Petronius's Satyricon" (Original, 1st century A.D.; contemporary LibiVox reading).
Here is a reading (from LibriVox) of a short segment from Gaius Petronius' fragmentary comic novel, Satyricon, an early Roman work from the 1st century A.D. that blends prose and poetry. The Satyricon -- particulary the portion that has survived (discovered in the 17th century) offers a satirical view of Rome's emergent economic elite and deals explicitly with early Roman sexual practices. It is the tale of Encolpius and his sixteen-year old boy lover; the young man, apparently, is always lured into sexual liasons with others. For a short introduction to Petronius and his Satyricon, see: http://community.middlebury.edu/~harris/LatinAuthors/Petronius.html.

Segment 2 | From the Archives: "Pete Seeger at Camp Woodland" (1948).
In 1939, progressive educator Norman Studer along with Rose Sydney, Regine Dicker (Ferber), Sara Abelson (Abramson), and Hannah Studer, founded Camp Woodland in Phoenicia, New York, located in the heart of the Catskill Mountains. According to Dale Johnson, "Camp Woodland strove to create a democratic environment where children of varying religions, socioeconomic, and ethnic backgrounds from the New York City area could steep in the rich ecology of the Catskill region for two months each summer.
The curriculum and experience of Camp Woodland were deeply rooted in the folklore and folk culture of the Catskill Mountains. Throughout his career as an educator and administrator, Studer championed cultural and racial integration in the educational environment." Pete seeger was a frequent visitor, performer, and music teacher at Camp Woodland. Here we present an excerpt from one of his many camp performances, recorded on August 21, 1948, at the 8th Annual Folk Festival (an annual festival at Camp Woodland). The recording comes from the Norman Studer collection, now housed at the M.E. Grenander Department of Special Collections and Archives at the University of Albany, SUNY. For more information on the collection, which contains more than 200 rare recording from the camp, see: http://library.albany.edu/speccoll/findaids/apap116.htm For more information about Camp woodland, see Dale W.

Segment 2 | From the Archives: "The Republic of Plato (a LibriVox reading" | 380 BC original text).
Written some time around 380 B.C., Plato's Republic presents what many consider the first expression of a utopian society in literature. Though hardly the utopia that most contemporary cititizens would yearn for, Plato's hierarchical, aristocratic ideal state places truth and reason at the center of an ideal society. In Plato's rendition of an ideal state, individuals are ranked and assigned social, political, and economic roles based on an evaluation of their suitability for these roles (through a process of examination). The ideal society for Plato is an "aristocracy" -- a polis ruled by the "best") -- and not a democracy. Here we present a LibriVox reading of the beginning of Book 4 of the Republic. Book 4 deals with an exploration of "Justice" and happiness, and especially as they appy to the guardians -- the philosopher-kings, or rulers -- of Kallipolis, the Greek name of Plato's ideal state. For the full text of The Republic, see: http://classics.mit.edu/Plato/republic.html.

Segment 2 | From the Archives: The Quest of the Silver Fleece (LibriVox reading | 1911 novel).
W. E. B. Du Bois explored the systemic and personal dimensions of the cotton industry in his first novel, published in 1911. The novel offers a range of sociological and economic critiques as it weaves together the lives of Blessed "Bles" Alwyn, a young man seeking to better himself in the post-Reconstruction era through education, and Zora, a strong and independent woman who lives in a mysterious Alabama swamp. Exploring themes of racial equality, economic speculation and exploitation, political power, and love -- Du Bois brings to his novel many of his observations about American society previously published in his nonfiction works, like The Souls of Black Folk.

Segment 2 | From the Archives: Abington v. Schempp (Oyez audio selection, 1962)
In June 1963, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that organized Bible reading and prayer recitation in public schools was a violation of the first amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The decision was based on two suits that had worked themselves up to the nation's highest court, one from Baltimore, Maryland (Murray v. Curlett), and the second from Abington, Pennsylvania (Abington v. Schempp). The audio selection we present here comes from Abington v. Schempp; the original recording comes from Record Group 267: Records of the Supreme Court of the United States, 1772 - 1990, available at the National Archives' Motion Picture, Sound, and Video Records LICON, Special Media Archives Services Division, College Park, MD.

Segment 2 | "An Avoided Scandal: Strom Thurmond and Essie Mae Washington." (Interview, 1978)
Here's a short selection from an oral history interview with former South Carolina senator and Dixicrat presidential candidate Strom Thurmond conducted in 1978. It comes to us from the Southern Oral History Program Collection at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. The full interview is available on line at: http://docsouth.unc.edu/sohp/A-0334/menu.html. Thurmond, an avid supporter of racial segregation and states' rights for much of his political life, nonetheless -- while a young man -- had a sexual relationship with his family's black 16-year-old maid and fathered a mixed-race daughter, Essie Mae Washington-Williams. This part of his scandalous past was the subject of rumour during his life but never publicly acknowledged or revealed -- at least not until his death in 2003. Essie Mae Washington-Williams recalled in her autobiography: "In a way, my life began at 78, at least my life as who I really was." For more on Thurmond and Essie Mae Washington-Williams' relationship in the years after her birth, see: Essie Mae Washington-Williams and William Stadiem, Dear Senator: A Memoir by the Daughter of Strom Thurmond (Regan Books, 2005) and http://www.cbsnews.com/news/essie-mae-on-strom-thurmond/.

The recording is part of a series carried out at Grahamstown University. and held at the UWC/Robben Island Mayibuye Archive.

Segment 2 | "A Banned Book: D. H. Lawrence's The Rainbow".
D.H. Lawrence's The Rainbow, was published in 1915 and almost immediately censored for its sexual content. The book is a family chronicle -- tracing three generations of the Brangwen family living near Marsh Farm in the East Midlands of England near Nottingham. The novel explores the impact of power, repression, and desire on several members of the family: [From Wikipedia: "The book spans a period of roughly 65 years from the 1840s to 1905, and shows how the love relationships of the Brangwens change against the backdrop of the increasing industrialisation of Britain. The first central character, Tom Brangwen, is a labourer whose experience of the world does not stretch beyond Nottinghamshire; while the last, Ursula, his granddaughter, studies at University and becomes a teacher in the progressively urbanised, capitalist and industrial world that would become our modern experience. The book starts with a description of the Brangwen dynasty, then deals with how Tom Brangwen, one of several brothers, fell in love with a Polish refugee, Lydia. The next part of the book deals with Lydia's daughter by her first husband, Anna, and her destructive, battle-riven relationship with her husband, Will, the son of one of Tom's brothers. The last and most extended part of the book, and also probably the most famous, then deals with Will and Anna's daughter, Ursula, and her struggle to find fulfilment for her passionate, spiritual and sensual nature against the confines of the increasingly materialist and conformist society around her. She experiences a lesbian relationship with a teacher, and a passionate but ultimately doomed love affair with Anton Skrebensky, a British soldier of Polish ancestry. At the end of the book, having failed to find her fulfilment in Skrebensky, she has a vision of a rainbow towering over the Earth, promising a new dawn for humanity: "She saw in the rainbow the earth's new architecture, the old, brittle corruption of houses and factories swept away, the world built up in a living fabric of Truth, fitting to the over-arching heaven.] The book is available on line at: https://archive.org/details/rainbowlawrence00lawrrich.

It even influencing the structure of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, according to Garry Wills in Lincoln at Gettysburg (1992).

Campus Dining:
The food is good and there are a lot of options. Sometimes the dining halls have kind of weird hours though.
Campus Dining:
There are 6 major dining halls on campus, all of which are buffet-style but also have stations where you can order your own food from a set of options. NU cuisine was ranked #12 in the country, which says a lot. The hours are different between halls, so it is pretty easy to make meals fit into your schedule, except sometimes on weekends when most halls are closed. There are always vegetarian and Kosher options, plus hot cookie bar, which I can't explain the awesomeness of. Definitely good overall, but of course less exciting as the year goes on.

I hear I'm in the minority, but I love dinning hall food. Being a vegetarian, it's honestly harder to find good options at some of the restaurants in town (not to knock off-campus dining; we have some of the best anywhere). I mostly eat in my dorm's (Elder) dining hall and the make-your-own (stir-fry, omelette, burrito) station is awesome and the servers are the great. The best food and most variety, though, are generally in the bigger dining halls like Allison and Sargent. Oh, and if you're like me and get hungry at 12ish Lisa's is open until 2am and has a decent selection of prepackaged stuff and a Subway-style sandwich bar.
Campus Dining:
I could not be happier with the dining options. And, even if you didn't like the food (and I don't know why you wouldn't), there's the C-store where you can buy snacks and the occasional sushi.
Campus Dining:
Longer lunch and dinner hours are necessary, because the current hours often don't work with the students' schedules. Also, options beyond Weekly 13, 14, and Unlimited would be nice for freshmen.

If you don't come in expecting much, your taste buds and Northwestern campus food will get along just fine. The dining halls do have specific menus and occasional themed nights, like "Mexican Fiesta" and "Thanksgiving," but the food gets old pretty quickly, especially when you eat at the same place for 13 meals a week. At every meal, there is the standard pasta, pizza, cereal, and salad bar that allows students to get creative when the main entrée just isn't cutting it. Most dining halls have made-to-order wraps, burgers, and panini sandwiches. Allison Hall has a themed cuisine that changes each day (like stir-fry or tacos); Foster-Walker is known for its omelet bar and burritos; and Willard lets you order your food on kiosks, similar to a real restaurant. In 2011, Northwestern changed its meal policy, requiring freshmen to be, at least, on the 13-meal-per-week plan. Unfortunately, this limits eating options at other places on campus that are not specified dining halls, like Norris, Fran's Café, or Lisa's Café. But after freshman year, many students switch to block plans, allotting students more "points" that can be used for any food on campus, at any time.
Select dining halls also offer convenience stores ("C-Stores"), which are similar to a mini-grocery store. Here, you will find little snacks, toiletries, and on-the-go meals for when you don't have time to sit in a dining hall or want to stock up on treats for your looming all-nighter. The University Library and Kresge Hall have cafés that are great for study breaks or a snack in between classes, and Tech has a secret Einstein Bros. Bagels and Tech Express. While the quality of food may not be the best, you will never go hungry. College students love to eat, just be watchful of the desserts. They always look good but are almost never worth the calories.

Film news
Hammer Entertainment Ltd and FirstSight Films Ltd are to develop and produce a slate of six feature films in the horror genre, the company announced on 12 May 2001.
The pact marks the first significant move back into feature film production for Hammer since its acquisition by a group of film industry investors last year. It also marks a further step in the establishment of FirstSight as a leading independent producer in the UK.
"By entering into this agreement with Charles Sturridge and his colleagues at FirstSight, we are clearly signalling our intent to deliver entertainment of high creative ambition within the most reliably commercial of film genres," said Hammer chairman, Larry Chrisfield.
"We are big fans of horror and even bigger fans of Hammer," said Sturridge. "We started talking to the Hammer principals as soon as they bought the company and we are thrilled to have reached agreement on this plan to deliver a slate of high-quality movies."

AUSTIN, TX -- It's not the way most people spent their Saturday morning, but about two dozen volunteers were busy lifting furniture, loading it into moving trucks.
"We all could be running around Town Lake or fishing somewhere but we're not," said City of Austin Veterans Officer Allen Bergeron.
Instead, they made deliveries to 15 veterans who were homeless but have qualified for housing through the VA and H.U.D.
"The way it works is they get these apartments and these apartments are completely empty," said Bergeron. "The last move we had a single mother with four kids and one grandchild that was sitting on the floor when we got there."
This time, the first stop is to the home of Robyn Mizell.
"They're doing a great service to American veterans. Veterans who have fallen on hard times," said Mizell.
The U.S. Air Force member has struggled with homelessness for more than three years. She says she was injured while serving and can't work. She's lived in her current home for about two months.
"I can scrounge things, you know, and pick up items from people that give away things, but when you don't have a vehicle, it makes it very difficult," added Mizell.
So volunteers are took her a chest of drawers, kitchen utensils, a mattress and a box spring.
Sleeping on a hard floor is not fun," said Mizell. "So it's all a blessing."
The volunteers say each time they give to a family the experience is different, but they always walk away feeling like they've made a difference.
"Giving back always feels good. They've given everything they can for our country and for us. This is a small way of saying thank you," said The Home Depot Store Manager Josh Mayou, who volunteered.
"They served their country and now it's our turn to serve them and help them out. Two words that should never go together is homeless and veteran," added Bergeron.
The city's furniture donations for veterans program started in 2012. Since that time about 60 once-homeless veterans have been helped. The program is part of the city's initiative to end homelessness among veterans by 2015.

Report: A-B Will Reject Buyout Offer
2 hrs ago
KSDK -- The Board of Directors for Anheuser-Busch will reject a buyout offer from Beligan brewery InBev, according to an online report from the Wall Street Journal.
The Wall Street Journal report said the board will reject the offer this week.
The report did not go into much depth, but said the board rejected InBev, saying the offer undervalues Anheusher-Busch stock.
The Wall Street Journal, quoting unnamed sources, reported that A-B brewery executives said they will cut costs over the next few years to create a savings of $500 million. In addiiton, they could sell off the theme parks and make billions more.
A keystone of the rejection is a proposed special dividend for shareholders. That dividend would put extra money in the pockets of shareholders. Instead of getting $65 per share from InBev, shareholders would receive less, in the form of the dividend.
Surprised that the board is so gutsy. There have been demonstrations in St Louis, with the good local folks carrying signs, that they do NOT want a foreign brewery taking over what is such a tradition in our city. There were reports from other breweries taken over by InBev of the treatment of the employees, etc, etc.
AB is VERY good to their employees. I always wanted to be a beer salesman, but wasn't qualified. :D
I guess the ball is in InBev's court. Here's hoping their isn't a hostile takeover attempt. Glad they're not selling out to the Europeans. America isn't totally for sale at a bargain basement price.
I greatly admire the board of directors. It's a gutsy move, particularly going against Warren Buffett, who holds more stock than the Busch family.
This just came out a few hours ago.

The Marine Equipment Trade Show has honored Volvo Penta with a DAME Design Award for its Glass Cockpit concept.
After manufacturing its first test engine in September, Volvo Penta's new Quickline production line is set to help Marine Commercial reduce lead times and address end users' catastrophic breakdowns more quickly than ever.
Volvo Penta was honored to receive the 2013 IBEX Innovation Award in the category of OEM Electronics for the Volvo Penta Glass Cockpit.
Diesel engines from Volvo Penta power a new tender boat for the world´s most luxurious super-yachts.
To make engines as versatile as possible, Volvo Penta works with its customers to adapt its engines for maximum performance and fuel economy – in a variety of applications.
Despite the coldest temperatures on the planet, Volvo Penta engines are proving their reliability by helping to keep an Antarctic research facility powered up – and warm – around the clock.
Lighter, cleaner, faster, stronger and with a world-class weight/effect ratio. That's how we described the V8-380 – launched a year ago. Now, the Volvo Penta V8 engine range grows with two new engines, both part of Volvo Penta's new generation of state-of-the-art, 6-litre, V8 gasoline marine engines. And just like their predecessor, the V8-430 and V8-350 BSO are high-performance engines, loaded with new technology. The V8-430 meets the US EPA requirements by a broad margin and the V8-350 BSO has been certified for Europe (IMCI) and use on Lake Constance (Bodensee).
Now, Volvo Penta launches a completely new generation of the proven D11 series. The new engine program has a peak power of 725 hp, and with a more powerful torque, improved drivability and reduced noise levels it becomes a strong addition to Volvo Penta's world-leading inboard program. Naturally, the new generation also meets the world's soon strictest emission regulations.
Volvo Penta's world-leading IPS drive system is now updated with a new generation of the proven D11 engine. Two new drive packages comes with power levels up to the equivalent of 950 hp, higher torque, better drivability and significantly lower noise levels and emissions. The result is a highly fuel-efficient power package tailored for 40- to 60-feet boats.
The driver environment in cars is similar regardless of the car brand. The driver starts the engine, electrical systems and instruments with a simple press of a button and doesn't have to think much about how it all works. In the boating world, it has not been quite as easy – until now. Volvo Penta is now launching the Glass Cockpit System which changes the design of the boat's driver environment from scratch.

Repair your winter-ravaged hair.
Winter hates my hair. I'm sure it's nothing personal, but come February, my hair looks and feels like a straw broom. Blasting the heater and wearing hats every day doesn't produce lustrous, silky locks. All those holiday splurges like highlights, lowlights and daily flat iron sessions can cause serious dryness and damage. Now that the wintry weather is coming to a close, heal your hair and add shine with good hairstyling techniques and quality hair products.
Go Free
Most of us tend to use the blow dryer just a teensy bit more in winter. Okay, a lot more. With warmer weather on the way, it's the perfect time to set your hair free from heated accessories. Update your look and select a low maintenance hairstyle you can wear naturally, without added waves or straightening. If you can't pry the blow dryer out of your hands, pop on a diffuser and give your hair a rest from direct heat. Diffusers work wonders on hair that needs some added volume.
Get scientific
Celebrate the end of winter by beginning a healthy hair regimen with Total Repair 5 with Ceramide by L'Oreal. Products like Restoring Shampoo and Restoring Conditioner cleanse and rebuild the hair fibers, bringing added strength and vitality. Wonder where your shine went? It flew south for the winter but you can get it back with Total Repair. Don't skimp on the other two power products in the line: Damage Erasing Balm and Multi-Restorative Dry Oil. Personally, I like buying an entire product line, not a piece from here and there. It keeps things so simple.
Replenish hair
Hair's biggest wintertime enemy is dryness. Repair scratchy winter hair by adding moisture a few ways. Plug up that humidifier and run it while you sleep. You'll get added moisture and hydrate your hair beautifully. Stay away from rich comfort foods and drink plenty of water. In extreme cases of dryness, apply a hair balm and leave it in overnight. Shampoo and rinse with cool water. Your mane will look silky and healthy.
Fight the flakes
If snow appears on your jacket and there's not a cloud in sight, it's probably dandruff. Fight the flakes by using adding a dandruff shampoo a few times a week. Massage your scalp with a soothing hot oil treatment once every two weeks until your dandruff disappears.
Winter hair didn't appear overnight but it shouldn't take long to restore your hair's natural beauty!

Particle Tracing in a Micromixer
Model ID: 12151
Micromixers can either be static or dynamic depending on the required mixing time and length scale. For static mixers, the Reynolds number has to be suitable high to induce turbulence enhanced mixing. Often micromixers operate in the laminar flow regime due to their small characteristic size. The diffusivity of a solute in the flowing fluid may also be extremely small, on the order of 10?10m2/s. This results in mixing length scales on the order of meters—clearly unacceptable for a microscale device. Static mixers try to alleviate the problem by adding mixing elements to induce vorticity into the flow. A dynamic mixer uses rotating blades to enhance the mixing process, allowing for smaller scale devices. The one big disadvantage of a dynamic mixer is that moving parts are required. This model uses the Rotating Machinery, Laminar Flow and Particle Tracing for Fluid Flow interfaces.
